Coptic Language Summer School

Thanks to the support and blessing of H.E. Metropolitan Seraphim, the planned Coptic Language Summer School has been organised and will take place in September. Although events like this are not evangelistic, and will involve the particpation of only a relatively small number of students, the fact that it is taking place at one of the major universities in London, and is being widely advertised, will help to promote an awareness of the British Orthodox Church, which is sponsoring the event.

The student numbers are limited to approximately 10, and places are already filling up.

We need your support!

We can only continue our missionary activity in the UK with the financial support of others. Please consider how you can help fund our missionary ministry and bring the Orthodox Faith to more British people.

We need your support to allow Father Peter to work full-time as an Orthodox missionary priest. At present he has to engage in secular work to support himself. He receives no other support than from supporters like you. We need to raise £2000 a month to allow him to concentrate on the missionary activities described on this Blog.

This month, August, we have only 25% of the finance we need

Next month, September, we have only 12% of the finance we need

Why not consider making a regular contribution, or asking if your congregation could make a contribution?

Why not send the address of this Orthodox Mission blog to 5 other friends and help us gather the support we need.

About Me

I am a priest of the British Orthodox Church within the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate, and I am a missionary.

I became Orthodox in 1994 from an evangelical protestant background and have not ceased to be concerned for the salvation of the British people.

I have a variety of local and national responsibilities. I am the pastor of St Alban and St Athanasius Orthodox Church in Kent, but I am also the National Co-Ordinator of the British Orthodox Fellowship, the Secretary of the Council of Oriental Orthodox Churches, and the Co-Secretary of the Anglican-Oriental Orthodox regional Forum, and the Catholic-Oriental Orthodox Forum.

I study Orthodox Christology and try to find time to write. But above all, I want to see British people become Orthodox through my ministry.
